The Rules of Authority

1.  Authority Always wants More Authority

2.  Authority Always wants to limit Oversight.

3.  Authority Always wants to remove itself from Responsibility.

Look carefully at those people you know who want Authority, they typically are weak and insecure. They crave Power because they have little influence over their peers.  They were bullied in school and want to get even. Often they will be "Know it Alls" and arrogant with their opinions.

So let's take this kind of person and give them a gun and a badge and always give them the benifit of doubt and resolve them of responsibility.  And then, we wonder why we have the problems we do with the Police.

From my personal experience as a white person in America, I have found the majority of cops to be assholes. Assholes that take advantage of their positions and applaud the violence and murder their "Brotherhood" inflicts on the public.  And as much as I despise Police Culture, it's the Judges that allow this kind of behavior that need to be "what?"  Add your favorite verb.
